Mets shortstop Jose Reyes, catcher Josh Thole and manager Terry Collins
came to New York Hospital Queens for the unveiling of the New
York Mets-themed Starlight Site™ care room donated by Starlight
Children’s Foundation NY*NJ*CT on January 20, 2011. The decor of the
room was donated by the Starlight Children’s Foundation in honor of the
New York Mets. Joseph J. Abularrage, M.D., chairman, Pediatrics, New
York Hospital Queens, is pictured with the Mets.

The care room is colorfully decorated with New York Mets
memorabilia. For many years the Mets have partnered with Starlight
and New York Hospital Queens to help brighten the lives of seriously ill
children.

Mets players Josh Thole and Jose Reyes visited children who
were too ill (or too young) to participate in the festivities.

New York Hospital Queens is a member of the NewYork-Presbyterian
Healthcare System
and affiliated with Weill Medical College of Cornell University.
